The rolling dev release lived on a tag named `dev`, beside the branch named `dev`. Once a clone had fetched tags, `git push origin dev` failed with "src refspec dev matches more than one" (Scribe #2184, note #3042), and every session had to know to spell out refs/heads/dev. The channel is still `dev` everywhere a person sees it: the app's setting, `install.sh --channel dev`, the stored pref. Only the release tag moves, to `dev-rolling`, matching roundtable-android. `stable` has no branch to collide with and keeps its name. - packaging/channel-tag.sh is the one channel -> tag mapping CI reads: the publish steps in android.yml and desktop.yml, the manifest job, fetch-clients.sh and guard-forward.sh. guard-forward exits 2 on an unmapped channel instead of fetching an empty URL and passing. - update.rs and install.sh carry their own copy because neither can run it; update.rs gains a test that no channel feed is named like a branch. - tests/test_channel_tag.py runs the script: no tag is a branch name, dev is exactly dev-rolling, an unknown channel fails with no output. - publish-release.sh titles the release "ThoughtSync dev (rolling)", so the tag name does not leak into what people read. TEMPORARY bridge: desktop apps installed before this have .../download/dev/latest.json compiled in. The dev manifest job sets BRIDGE_TAG=dev, and write-manifest.sh writes the same latest.json to the old `dev` release. Its URLs name dev-rolling assets, so those apps update once into a build that reads the new tag. The bridge, and the old release and tag, are removed once installed apps have crossed over. Until then the push still needs the explicit refspec, as ci-requirements.md now says.

ThoughtSync desktop (Tauri v2)
Local-first desktop client. The window loads the shared Vue 3 frontend from
../frontend; the Rust core (src-tauri) owns the on-device store and the opt-in
sync engine (built out across the M10 milestone). Works fully offline; optionally
syncs to a self-hosted ThoughtSync server.

The Vue frontend is the sibling ../frontend package, shared with the web
build. On desktop it is backed by a local data source via
frontend/src/adapters/ (M10.3) instead of the server REST API. frontend and
src-tauri are siblings, not nested, so the beforeDev/beforeBuild
commands cd "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/frontend" to resolve regardless of
the CLI's working directory.
Prerequisites
The toolchain (Rust + Node + WebKitGTK 4.1 + tauri-cli) is provided by the
ci-tauri CI image. For local dev: install Rust + Node, cargo install tauri-cli,
and the Tauri v2 Linux system deps — see CI-tauri/Dockerfile in the CI-runner
repo for the exact apt list (libwebkit2gtk-4.1-dev, libgtk-3-dev, librsvg2-dev,
libayatana-appindicator3-dev, libxdo-dev, patchelf, ...).
Dev
cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo tauri dev
beforeDevCommand starts the Vite dev server (port 5173) in ../frontend.
Build (Linux)
cargo tauri icon "$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel)/frontend/public/icon.svg"
cd desktop/src-tauri && cargo tauri build # -> .deb + .AppImage
App icons are generated from the frontend's icon.svg via cargo tauri icon
(not committed; CI does this before cargo tauri build). Bundle targets: deb,
appimage (Linux-first; Windows/macOS later, no code changes expected).
Status
Scaffold (M10.2): boots the shared Vue UI in a native window. Until the local data
adapter lands (M10.3 + M10.5) the app has no server configured, so it shows the
login screen without a working backend — full offline functionality arrives with
the local SQLite store (M10.4) + adapters/local.ts (M10.5).
